Overview

This volume is the second of two that, together, are primarily a collection of twenty-six articles written by European surgeons who visited America prior to the First World War. Volume 1 provides background about nineteenth-century European-American surgical relationships and the massive European immigration to America that included some influential surgeons. This is followed by reports from nine surgeons who visited 1901-1907, translated into English, each with details about the original article, a brief author biography, and numerous annotations to clarify unfamiliar persons or concepts. Volume 2 adds reports from fourteen European surgeons who visited 1908-1913, with similar source information, biographies, and annotations. Other surgical and medical visitors to America during this time are briefly discussed. Finally, the April 1914 International Surgical Society Congress in New York is described, followed by reports from three more surgeons who attended the Congress and participated in a tour of American surgical centers that followed it.
